Those where the days, No roll cages, No crash helmets, No fire extinguishers or cut out switches.
What could go wrong. And how much fun was to be had!

They still do production car trials, but you one car at a time, I was tempted to take my mini out at Ipswich earlier in the year, as it has ideal gearing for Ipswich, but the lack of Central oil pick up, I decided it would be best not to.

A time before the current 'compensation culture' when you could take responsibility for your own life. Hard to imagine we will ever see it again.

That was fun to watch! It was a shame those minis couldn't get past the Mustang though.
